4 Introduction This report is filed pursuant to FERC s September 2, 2009 and July 4, 2010 orders in ER These orders require two monthly Exceptional Dispatch reports one issued on the 15 th of each month and one issued on the 30 th of each month. This report provides data on the frequency and reasons for Exceptional Dispatches issued in September 2016 The Nature of Exceptional Dispatch The CAISO can issue exceptional dispatch instructions for a resource as a preday-ahead unit commitment, which may also include an indicative exceptional dispatch energy schedule, a post-day-ahead unit commitment, or a real-time exceptional dispatch 1. A pre-day-ahead commitment is an exceptional dispatch instruction that commits a resource at or above its physical minimum operating level in the day-ahead market. A post-day-ahead market commitment is an exceptional dispatch instruction that commits a resource at or above its physical minimum operating level in the real-time market. A real-time exceptional dispatch instruction is a dispatch of a resource at or above its physical minimum operating point. A real-time exceptional dispatch above the resource day-ahead award is an incremental exceptional dispatch instruction and an exceptional dispatch below the day-ahead award is a decremental dispatch instruction. The CAISO issues exceptional dispatch instructions to maintain the reliability of the grid when the market software cannot do so. Whenever the CAISO issues an exceptional dispatch instruction, the operator logs the dispatch and the associated reason. Many of the exceptional dispatches listed below in Table 1, were to satisfy either a local area or system reliability requirements, and are classified into local generation requirements, transmission management requirements, non-modeled transmission outages or other non-modeled constraints or requirementsand intertie emergency assistance. All of the transmission procedures are available on the CAISO website 2. The following reason for exceptional dispatch instructions in September 2016 was not related to generation or transmission operating procedures: Software Limitation, when an exceptional dispatch instruction was used to bridge schedules across days for resources with a minimum down time of 24 hours, as the CAISO software does not handle multi day commitment. For instance, a resource has a day-ahead schedule from 0600 till 2300, and then is shut down in If this resource had a minimum down time of 24 hours and it is required the 1 The CAISO can issue exceptional dispatch instructions subject to authority of the CAISO Tariff Section 34.9 and in accordance with CAISO Operating Procedure 2330 (formerly M-402). 2 A list of all of the CAISO s publicly available Operating Procedures are available at the following link: CAISO\Market Quality and Renewable Integration Page 3

5 following day, then the CAISO issues an exceptional dispatch to commit this resource in 2400 so it can be dispatched economically in the following day. Software limitation reason was also used for exceptional dispatches to manually issue shut down instructions to a resource because of a temporary Automatic Dispatch System ( ADS ) failure, or similar issues. There were a few other reasons used to explain exceptional dispatch instructions in September 2016, which are self explanatory. The data in Table 1 is based on a template specified in the September 2009 order 3. Each entry in Attachment A is a summary of exceptional dispatches classified by (1) the reason for the exceptional dispatch; (2) the location of the resource by Participating Transmission Owner ( PTO ) service area; (3) the Local Reliability Area ( LRA ) where applicable; (4) the market in which the exceptional dispatch occurred (day-ahead vs. real-time); and (5) the date of the exceptional dispatch. For each classification the following information is provided: (1) Megawatts (MW); (2) Commitment (3) Inc or Dec (4) Hours; (5) ; and (6). The MW column shows the range of exceptional dispatch instructions in MW for the classification. The Commitment column specifies if there was a unit commitment for the classification. The INC//NA column specifies if there was an incremental dispatch, a decremental dispatch, or only a unit commitment. If the exceptional dispatch was only a unit commitment, the column shows NA for the classification. The column shows the start of exceptional dispatch for the classification and the column shows the end of exceptional dispatch for the classification. The column Hours is the difference between end time and begin time rounded up to the next hour. The data shown is further explained by way of example in Attachment A. Table 1 indicates there were 164 exceptional dispatches in September 2016, as compared to 193 exceptional dispatches in August Exceptional dispatches issued for the following reasons accounted for approximately 55 percent of the total exceptional dispatches during the reporting period: planned transmission outages, software limitations, load forecast uncertainty, and operating procedure number 7110 (along with 6110, 6510, 7230, 7430, and 7820). Many of the exceptional dispatches with the reason other reliability requirement were due to Real Contingency Analysis. 3 The data in Table 1 is principally SLIC information supplemented with data from the Market Quality System (MQS). It is the most accurate currently available and it is worth noting that this data has been through the T+38B initial statement process wherein many unresolved issues are fixed. The CAISO believes that this data will correlate well with the settlements data that will be available when the CAISO files the Table 2 report for the reporting period.

15 Appendix A: Explanation by Example All examples listed below are based on fictitious data. Example 1: Exceptional Dispatch Instructions Prior to DAM In this fictitious example, the CAISO issued an exceptional dispatch instruction for resource A to be committed at its physical minimum (Pmin) of 50 MW from hours ending 5 through 10 for a generation procedure Similarly, the CAISO issued additional instructions to resources B and C for the same reason as shown in Table 2. Generally, exceptional dispatches prior to the day-ahead market are commitments to minimum load. Here the dispatch levels are all at minimum load. Table 2: Instructions Prior to Day-Ahead Market Date Market Resource Location Local Reliability Area (LRA) Dispatch Level (MW) 01-Jul-09 DA A SCE LA BASIN 05:00 10: Jul-09 DA B SCE LA BASIN 08:00 20: Jul-09 DA C SCE LA BASIN 09:00 23: This data is summarized as shown in Table 3, which is the prescribed format specified in the FERC order on September 02, This summary classifies the data by reason, resource location, local reliability area, and trade date. The MW column in Table 3 is the range of MW; in this case the minimum instruction MW is 20 MW for resource C which occurs from hours ending 21 through 23. The maximum instruction occurs in hour ending 10. In this hour resource A is committed at 50 MW, resource B is committed at 30 MW and resource C is committed at 20 MW. This adds up to 100 MW. The MW column shows the minimum and maximum of the overlaps of all the exceptional dispatch instructions. The Commitment column shows whether a resource was committed between the begin time and end time. Commitments are broken out separately from energy dispatches. In the day-ahead, however the exceptional dispatches are nearly always just commitments, as in this example. The column shows hour ending 5 as this was the hour ending for first dispatch of the day, and the column shows hour ending 23, as this was the hour with last dispatch. It is also possible that there might be hours between the begin time and the end time where there might not be exceptional dispatch instructions for the given reason, meaning that the range between the begin time and end time can include null hours with no dispatch.

The CAISO issued another exceptional dispatch instruction to resource B, to be dispatched at 40 MW from hours ending 8 through 9 in real-time for the transmission procedure This resource had a day-ahead schedule of 20 MW from the day-ahead market, which implies that this exceptional dispatch instruction was an incremental instruction and the exceptional dispatch MW was 20 MW. Similarly, the details of exceptional dispatch (ED) instruction for resource C are shown in Table 4.

17 This data is summarized as shown in Table 5 and is classified by reason, resource location, local reliability area, and trade date. The MW column in Table 5 is the range of MW; in this case the minimum instruction MW is 0 MW for resource C which occurs from hours ending 13 through 15. The maximum instruction occurs in hours ending 8 & 9, as during these two hours both resources A and B have an ED MW of 30MW and 20MW, respectively. This adds up to 50 MW. The MW column shows the minimum and maximum of the overlaps of all the exceptional dispatch instructions. The Commitment column shows whether a resource was committed between the begin time and end time. This column shows a commitment if there was a single commitment in the entire interval of exceptional dispatch. The column shows the time of the first dispatch of the day. This is a time not a range. Similarly the column shows a time and not a range. Exceptional dispatches occurred between these two times. Since there was a commitment between the begin time and end time then the Commitment column displays yes for the summary. Similarly, the INC/ column shows an INC as there was an incremental dispatch between the begin time and end time. As mentioned in the previous example it is possible that there might be hours between the begin time and end time where there were no exceptional dispatch instructions for the given reason.

18 Example 3: Decremental Exceptional Dispatch Instructions in RTM This example highlights decremental exceptional dispatch instructions in the real-time market. In this fictitious example the CAISO issued an exceptional dispatch instruction to resource A to be committed at its Pmin of 20 MW from hours ending 15 through 20 after completion of the day-ahead market for the transmission procedure The CAISO issued additional exceptional dispatch instructions for resources B and C; details of those instructions are shown in Table 6.

This summary classifies the data by reason, resource location, local reliability area, and trade date. Please note that inc and dec are broken out separately. The inc entry is self-explanatory and similar to the previous example. Regarding the dec entry the MW column is the range of MW; in this case the minimum dec instruction is 10 MW (actually -10MW as it is a dec) for resource C which occurs from hours ending 10 through 14. The maximum instruction occurs from hours ending 7 through 9, when resource B was issued a dec instruction of 20 MW. The MW column shows the minimum and maximum of the overlaps of all the exceptional dispatch instructions. The Commitment column shows whether a resource was committed between the begin time and end time.
